Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), is in Wa, the Upper West regional capital, following the killing of private security personnel in the area.
He also paid a courtesy call on the Overlord of the Wa Traditional Area, Wa Naa Seidu Fuseini Pelpuo IV, along with some members of the Police Management Board and the Upper West Regional Police Command.

The Interior Minister, Hon. Ambrose Dery, was the first to arrive in the region and held a closed-door meeting with regional security.
He was accompanied by security council members to the palace of the overlord of the Waala traditional area, where he assured the government’s commitment to ensuring peace and security in Wa.

In Wa, ten private security guards have been killed by unknown assailants in the last nine months, with the most recent incident occurring last Friday.
This angered youth in the area, who protested the incessant killings.
